二、阅读理解
第一节 根据短文内容，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
The documentary Returning Home has touched many people's hearts by telling the
stories of scientists who returned from overseas to support the development of China in the 1950s. It not only describes history but also shows the ideas and the patriotism(爱国精神) of the scientists.
Among all the touching parts, there is one about mathematician(数学家) Hua Luogeng. He wrote an open letter to all Chinese students studying in the US. Reading the letter, people were deeply moved by the strong sense of patriotism of many overseas scientists who wanted to return to their hometown.
The documentary also shares many less-known stories of these scientists. For example, Hua Luogeng's contributions(贡献) to the early development of computer science in China are not widely known. Instead of enjoying the comfortable living and research conditions in America, Hua chose to return to China without any hesitation(犹豫) in 1950. It was a time when few people knew about computers. But Hua understood their potential for developing science. Later, he set up China's first computer research team and led them to complete many important tasks. He is not only a great mathematician but also one of the pioneers of computer science in China.
In an interview, the producer of the documentary talked about the influence of Returning Home like this: "We hope teenagers can learn more about history from this documentary and be encouraged by the patriotism of these scientists. While today's youth have better living conditions, we must never forget the efforts of those who came before us."

【分析】做本题时，首先通读全文，把握核心内容是纪录片《Returning Home》的主题与意义；针对每个题目，先明确题型，再回到原文定位对应段落或语句，对比选项与原文信息，排除表述错误或片面的选项，选出最佳答案。具体各题思路：11题为主旨题，定位第一段找纪录片主要呈现内容；12题为细节题，定位第二段找华罗庚公开信的相关信息；13题为写作手法题，分析第三段的支撑方式；14题为词义猜测题，结合第三段语境推断划线词含义；15题为标题题，提炼全文核心主题。
【解析】11. 定位第一段，纪录片Returning Home讲述1950年代归国支持中国发展的科学家的故事，展现他们的思想与爱国精神。A项“all”表述绝对，原文未提及所有海外科学家；B项仅提及华罗庚，内容片面；D项并非纪录片主要呈现内容，故选C。
12. 定位第二段，华罗庚写公开信给在美国的中国留学生，人们被其强烈的爱国精神感动。A项公开信名并非《Returning Home》；B项是写给美国的中国留学生而非所有中国学生；D项原文未提及鼓励学习，故选C。
13. 第三段首句提到纪录片分享科学家鲜为人知的故事，下文以华罗庚在中国计算机研究领域的贡献为例支撑该观点，采用举例子的方式，故选B。
14. 划线词所在句意为：当时很少人了解计算机，但华罗庚看到了它们发展科学的潜力。potential在此处意为“潜力、可能性”，对应选项C“Possibility”，故选C。
15. 全文围绕纪录片《Returning Home》展开，介绍其内容、意义及影响，核心是这部有意义的纪录片，A项访谈、B项科学家、D项计算机科学均为片面内容，故选C。
